Charity News
Proud to be a Charity Trustee.
I am proud to be a Trustee for this local Coventry charity. It is my way of giving back to my community.
We, like many other charities, are looking for additional trustees to help us (voluntary role) particularly if you have experience in finance, insurance or IT, and have a genuine interest in supporting disabled children. Please get in touch to arrange a no-obligation chat.
You can help the charity in a number of ways including using their soft play centre and Party facilities at Purple Planet.
I am fundraising during the 2026/27 tax year for Tiny Tim's Children's Centre - we are now on fundraising part three (due to limited time for fundraising on facebook) you can keep up to date with my progress and donate here:
Late October 2026
BLOG
This month's BLOG is a little random, but relates to the end of October and the seasonal shift.
To read previous Blogs, please hit the button to head to the archives...
The Clocks go BACK on Sat 24 October!
Daylight Saving makes it lighter in the mornings (for a while at least), but makes the evenings much shorter, it won't be long before people are going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark.
The seasonal shift means the sun is cooler and very sporadic in it's appearance.
Grey, wet days and leaves blowing everywhere are imminent.
I experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) this time of year. (It is seasonal, and can affect different people at different times, but it is common at this time due to the reduced daylight and sunlight, in particular).
I cancelled the fabulous 50th birthday plans I had last year, because the weather changed, and the thought of having to carry a wet coat around put me off!
My 40th birthday party was cancelled (and re booked with a select few attendees) and I was off sick with poor mental health at the same time.
Someone noticed. They bought me an artificial sunlight lamp.
This was probably about 8 years ago.
It is still going strong, and has it's space on my new desk all year round (this saves me hunting for it).
Which is just as well, I needed it in August this year! Yes, do you recall that wet grey day that came out of nowhere? The lamp was on!
It helps me maintain a normal mood level and increases energy - like some kind of MAGIC!
I haven't required time off due to poor mental health since having one.
I bought one for my mum. My son now has that one in his Uni accommodation.
If you notice you have less energy and feel just "blugh" and the CBA attitude is creeping in now Autumn is well on its way...
Try it!
Another TOP TIP - don't use it late in the day, it can prevent sleep.
I don't really do Halloween.
I don't watch Horror movies.
(A Hallmark romance fan all the way, here).
So that's my excuse for the UNINTENTIONAL TRAUMA that I may have caused over the last few years...
I used to regularly carry a RED balloon at business expos and networking events...
because what I do LIFTS LIVES and Processed Trauma is Lighter to Carry.
My logo is a balloon.
As someone who is not usually an natural extrovert, it encouraged people to start the conversation with me, and it was a great way to be remembered!
I had no idea about the movie IT!
But now it appears I could also cause UNINTENTIONAL TRAUMA by the simple mention of my name!
Yes, I was doing a visibility check on myself, to see what would come up if someone searched for me - Trish Jarvis...
Google told me that the majority of top results will point to a fictional horror movie character; Patricia (Trish) Jarvis, the main female protagonist of the 1984 slasher film Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
For those of you worried about the sanity of my parents, I was born before the film came out, and actually Jarvis is my married name! (But as I was never a Horror fan, I was blissfully unaware of what I had done).
Luckily, from a business visibility point of view, when I asked Google to narrow the search to the Midlands, UK, and Google said:
If you narrow the search to the Midlands, UK, the horror movie character completely falls away. Instead, the top results point directly to a very specific, award-winning mental health professional in Coventry and Warwickshire.
Anyway, if I have inadvertently caused you unintentional trauma with my balloon or my name, ironically, I know an award winning trauma therapy practitioner who can help with that! (No balloons present in sessions, but there may be a cuddly elephant).
